Leaps & bounds.........

watching the dogs this morning.......Trudy, when she runs, not so often anymore but some days, anyway when she runs, she flows.......looks like Lassie coming to the rescue or sumthin..... hair streaming behind her & you can ‘t see her legs moving......Rusty, on that proverbial other hand, is just a poodle.....and a miniature poodle at that....he leaps and bounds, or he hunkers down & runs when he chases the DC from the yard.......he’s a little ambivalent
about the DC anyway.....often he ignores them completely.....
I guess it’s Spring...feels like it......altho’ the ubiquitous ‘they’ say that we’re due for more rain & snow during the month of March.....whatever(shrug).......Yogi Berra said, “Predicting anything is tough, especially the future.”
I think the pollsters & pundits are finding that statement to be true as Hillary & Barack seem to be neck & neck down the stretch.....Some of ‘em seem to have given up altogether & are making predictions about the coming general election.....they all seem to have annointed McCain as the inevitably defeated (make the sign of the cross here) Republican........Pore Ol Huckleberry! Thy name is not quite legend.....not quite up there with Perot, let alone Nader........
Speaking of Ralph...he helped kill off the execrable Chevy Corvair....Unsafe at any speed, he called it........Pore ol dumb me....I once took a Corvair Spyder convertible down Winding Way (before all the stop signs & traffic) at about 70mph.......& I tho’t it was fun.
‘Course it was prob’ly just that a lot of things were more fun before I became this old stick in the mud.......
Ahhh! Youth ain’t wasted on the young.....it just don’t stick around long enuff.........Justin Other Smith
